This invention relates to improvements'in ff Figure 'an'end elevationa V one'of theends ofa trough? ash trays, of the formcomprising a relatively shallow structtu'ehaving a freceive'r for, ashes in the form of a bowl that is bordered" by a rim structure, the latter having troughs j or the like for supporting a cigar, and, fura lining or false bowl of able material. i V

The object of the invention is to provide an ash tray, which can be cheaply, quicklyj'and easily stamped or manufacturedi'rom sheet material, preferably metahri 'and"after so stamped will not require any other mechanor ash receiving bowl.

The invention consists of structural characteristics and relative arrangement of elements which "willgbe here nafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in appended claims.
